The average person spends 6+ hours per day on their phone

That’s 25% of your life!

To change habits you have to change your situation

3 steps to make your phone 90% less addictive in under 15min 👇🧵

Charge your phone in a separate room.

NOT your bedroom or bathroom! I use my office.

@nireyal recommended this in his book Indistractable.

It’s an instant habit shifter.

By keeping your phone away from your bed, you’ll sleep better and wake up faster.

@nireyal Go grayscale!

You will use your phone less if it doesn’t have colors

For iOS: Settings > general > accessibility > accessibility shortcut > color filters
For Android: Swipe down > pen icon > add Grayscale to tiles

@nireyal Turn notifications off

Turn off any and all notifications unless they are vital

It takes 20+ mins to recover your focus after each ping, so this alone can cause massive productivity gains…
